intro − introduction to file servers

DESCRIPTION

A Plan 9 ­file server provides a file tree to processes.  This section of the manual describes servers than can be mounted in a name space to give a file-like interface to interesting services.  A file server may be a provider of a conventional file system, with files maintained on permanent storage, or it may also be a process that synthesizes files in some manner.
